SCHWARZ ETIENNE continues to chart its path in the world of fine watchmaking with the 1902 RÉSERVE DE MARCHE. A timepiece that captures the light and reflects a deeply personal connection to time. With its power reserve indicator positioned to the front, the wearer is reminded when it is necessary to wind the watch, a daily ritual beloved by purists. A defining creation within the 1902 collection, offered in two luminous and refined shades. Silver or 4N Gold colour. It embodies the independent spirit of a Manufacture that has remained uninterrupted since the year it was founded.
MASTERING TIME: A MOVEMENT OF DISTINCTION
SCHWARZ ETIENNE celebrates the power reserve. Not merely as a technical indication, but as a subtle dialogue between energy and time. It embodies a profoundly personal relationship between the wearer and mechanism. A heightened awareness of passing hours and the energy that remains to be given. The power reserve indicator serves as an aide-memoire, reminding the wearer to pause, momentarily escape the frenetic pace of daily life, and spend a few seconds manually energising the mainsprings.
In fact, the artisans at SCHWARZ ETIENNE developed and crafted this piece in their workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The 1902 RÉSERVE DE MARCHE captures the delicate balance between watchmaking mastery and enduring elegance. Inspired by the great tradition of pocket watches, its hand-wound movement pays tribute to the noblest roots of fine watchmaking.
The MSE 311.00 calibre owes its exceptional 120-hour chronometric autonomy to a reworked balance. Designed to optimise the performance of its two barrels, mounted in parallel. Every detail
of its construction speaks to an uncompromising pursuit of excellence. Six bridges with hand polished angles, concave jewel countersinks and a finely sandblasted mainplate, finished with rhodium plating.
SCHWARZ ETIENNE: HARMONIOUS DESIGN, A BOLD SIGNATURE
Evidently, the dial reveals the watch’s full balance, a subtle yet confident aesthetic that draws on the brand’s heritage. It captures timeless elegance and echoes the spirit of SCHWARZ ETIENNE: a living bridge between cultural legacy and watchmaking excellence.
Finally, designed for both men and women, this creation is the result of meticulous care, guided by passion and unwavering standards. The watch is presented on a rubber-lined alligator strap, available in a choice of colours. A Grade 5 titanium pin buckle secures the watch to the wrist, completing the elegant ensemble.
